Has anyone used h1000 in their .338 win mag? I looked for data and all I could find was for the heavier bullets in that caliber. I loaded a few of 225 Hdy sst's with 69 grains of h 1000, got a great pattern, but the bullets had a good bit of drop at 100 yds, compared to my normal loads of the...

I recently got the new book by berger, on handloading etc. There was talk of overall length effecting the accuracy of the round, but they don't go into whether it is better to have the bullet go further into the chamber or not!!! Is anyone familiar with this effecfting accuracy and is it worth...

I've been loading my .300 w/mag with 180 grain accubonds, with great success. I wanted to go a little heavier, so I bought Berger 210 l/distance hunting loads, but am really having trouble finding any loader's info, with out spending $30.00 plus for their book. Has anyone loaded the 210 grain...

Has anyone had experience with Migule Mountain outfitters, Moose hunting? I see their web site and the price is very reasonable. I think the ownere's name is Paul Toms!!?? thanks Mickey

I have three savage rifles. Two of them put three touching at 100yds, the third,a .338 win/mag is very inconsistant. When I start out, it ususally groups about an inch or less, then the more I fire(I do let it cool between groupings) it will sometimes group over 2&1/2 to 3&1/2 inches. A steady...

Using either 225 grain Hornady sst's or Nosler Accubond, I'd like to get up to 2950 or 3000 f/p/s. Does anyone have a load that will do this? I can't find any recommended loads in loading books that give much more than 2850. If I'm chasing something that is unsafe as far as pressures, then i...

I have a Weatherby Vanguard in .338 Win Mag. I have tried quite a few differnt loads and I'm having trouble finding a load that will give me consistant 1 moa or better all the time. I'm shooting from a bench, using a lead sled rest. The barrel has been free floated, and I have an excellant...

I have a Weatherby Vanguard, .338 cal. It will shoot fairly tight groups, then send a flier, or two. Then it will not group tightly again. I've had the barrel professionally free floated, it has a great Swarovski z-3 and I use a lead sled from a bench. I had a Ruger 77, and using the same loads...

In the Ceveland, Ohio area, does anyone out there know of a good gunsmith that could glass bed a Weatherby rifle for me? Thanks. Mickey

I have a beautiful Smith and Wesson .243 rifle, with an S&W 6x24 scope that is labeled S&W, marked made in Japan. The action is a Husqvarna 1900, but I have no idea who may have made the scope. Any help out there? Thanks. Mickey

I have a Ruger, 77 in caliber .338. I would give the trigger about a low C-. Has anyone used an aftermarket trigger in one of these Rugers, and if so, what kind, and does it take a gunsmith to install it? Thanks Mickey

I have a Ruger m-77, caliber 22.250. It is starting to lose it's grouping. Up until a while ago, I could almost always put three touching at 100 yards. Now the group is opening up. I do not use real hot loads, but the rifle has been shot quite a bit, and I'm not the first owner(probably, at...

I recently purchased a Smith and Wesson .243 built by Husqvarna. It has a 1/14 twist. I'm strictly using hornady 87 grain and 100 btsp. From what I read in the Hornady loading book, the Varget was one of the most accurate, but there is nothing listed for the heavier bullets. Anyone out ther have...

I recently purchased an S&W .243 with Husqvarna action(model 1900). I would like to use Varget powder with a Hornady 100 grain btsp. If anyond has info on that or perhaps a better powder or load suggestion, I would certainly appreciate the info. Thanks Mickey

I recently purchased an S&W rifle made by Husqvarna and on it was an S&W sope that I believe is made by Hakko, who is now Japan optics. I have no information on specs or adjustments. It's a 6x24 with a range finder adjustment in the fron up to five hundred yards. Any one familiar with this, or...

I've loaded magnum rifle shells for years, but just started loading a 30-06. I have 5,000 large rifle MAGNUM Fed primers. Can those be used in place of regular large primers that are called for in the '06? Thanks Mickey

I have a 4 inch model 29 that after the third or fourth shot will not allow the trigger to be pulled back. The cylinder has rotated about 1/2 of what it should. The gun is always cleaned properly, and lubricated exactly as it should be. This is with factory ammo of various manufacturers. One...

I just picked up a CZ75B. What's a good retention holster for this pistol? Thanks Mickey

I have a 6" nickel Python that looks to be unfired, but over the years the previous owner was a little rough handling it and also, the nickel plating has some very slight pits and is thin in some spot. I would like to have it replated to new condition. Is there a Colt specialty shop other than...
